Yay! Another use for those adorable plastic pencil boxes! I made a little beading travel kit in one, a sewing travel kit in another and several are in use as rotary cutter cases. Now, I have a reason to buy more of them!

I admit to being a fan of the doughnut bobbin cases but have my new macine on order with extra large bobbins so I though I would have to reinvent the wheel, but you have again provided an answer! Thank you.

Love these ideas! I have so many of those pencil cases floating around my house, I can't wait to make a bobbin holder. My bobbins (some threaded, some not) are all thrown into a little box and they make a terrible mess. I need one of those!

Great ideas, Karen! I love the small tray idea for a seam ripper, bamboo awl, little snips....thanks for your clever ideas. Back in 1999 I was using my rotary cutter and ruler and it slipped. I didn't get cut but it was close. Brad took a length of that corner guard and applied it to my rulers with double sided scotch tape. It's still on there! A few years later one of the quilt supply companies put out a version but it didn't seem to last long.

Great ideas, Karen! I really like the idea of attaching it close to where I store my thread spools, but that just might be too much of a temptation for my cat. She already finds the spools fascinating!

Awesome...I too wonder if your mind ever rests...how do you think of these great ideas! I will definitely make the bobbin pencil box holder for my eight year old granddaughter. She is just starting to get her own supplies! Then I will make one for myself. Ann
